Lamar Odom was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel Tuesday afternoon, and has since been transported to a Las Vegas hospital, where he is “battling for his life.” The brothel’s owner, Dennis Hof, says Odom was in a “great mood” when he arrived Saturday, but that his demeanor “changed” after receiving a phone call on Sunday.

Hof said he “heard” Odom took “like eight or 10” pills of an “herbal Viagra substitute” which, reportsThe Daily News, has “drawn ire from health experts for years” due to its “unknown or unsafe ingredients.”

According to Hof, two female employees found Odom unresponsive on Tuesday afternoon and alerted management, who called emergency services.

“We called 911, my staff did. They said ‘roll him on his left side’ and he started throwing up a lot but he was breathing. Then the ambulance and the police came and took him to the [hospital],” Hoff explained. “They said he was in bad shape and they thought he might not make it.”

The Daily Beastreports Odom (who’s 6’10”) was then transported to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas by ambulance, as he was “too big” to fit in the helicopter used for airlifts.

Since arriving, he’s reportedly had many visitors—including Kobe Bryant, Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and ex-wife Khloe Kardashian, who was “described as completely inconsolable.”
